You are not subscribed. I cc'ed you in this mail so you'll recieve it directly. > Anyway, I tried to find the OOo autopackage file, but could not.

No, this is the reason why Top-posts with fullquote are bad. You don't need different OOo-packages for each distro. There is one set of RPMs, there is (will be) one set of debs. Whether you split the distribution-integration packages up into several packages or do hack a huge script that does the jobs is basiacally a matter of personal taste, not of the used technology. > Would you be so helpful as to show me where I can download the OOo > autopackage file?

Again: All this is *not* dependant on the package format. This could have been implemented with both rpm and deb as well. > I believe that there are many technical considerations, No. My reasons are personal. And remember: I am only an individual.

There are no techical things that hinder the creation of an autopackage. It is just that I personally don't want to spend my time on this. Maybe this as a technical note: OOo uses epm to create the rpms and debs, but it should be easy to just use the created rpms, install them into a fakeroot and just repackage the result. Alternatively you can parse the epm files and create the package "directly". > Thanks a lot, and I eagerly await your reply! I conclude with the famous words: Patches welcome... If you're willing to contribute the necessary bits to build an autopackage within the OOo-buildsystem, please take ownership of issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46333 ciao Christian [Fullquote snipped] -- NP: Korn - Wake Up --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
